Private Lands Management for Wildlife.......2004-08-11

This is one of the best popular books dealing with wildlife management since the late Geogre Burger's book Practical Wildlife Management was published. It is very up-to-date and accurate. The only problem I have, and this is not a fault but a personal issue, is that it promotes specific brand name commercial products pretty heavily. All else aside it is a great book for anyone intested in managing private lands for wildlife.

Product Description

7 hours and 7 minutes on CDs. In Stone Work, critically-acclaimed author John Jerome describes the back-breaking but soul-strengthening task of building a stone wall on his New England farm. Equipped only with gloves, elemental tools, and the sense to get out of the way of rolling boulders, Jerome tries to reconstruct a wall in a year. The job begins on a whimhe decides to move a stone wall hidden in the woods on his property for the sheer pleasure of seeing it from his house. While wrangling, lugging, rolling, and carting an entity that responds only to gravity and leverage, Jerome grasps the gifts of the seasons and the complexities of being a middle-aged male. Philosophical, yet almost giddy with the excitement of doing something extraordinary, Stone Work is a delight. Narrator Ed Salas gifted storytelling enhances Jeromes graceful prose, and lends vibrant voice to the gentle humor and self-effacing ruminations of a man of letters confronted with lugging tons of rock.

Well written and accurate.......2002-04-08

I've lived in Singapore as an expatriate for a total of about 12 years over 4 decades. Ms. Perera has put together an accurate and easy to use book to learn the subtle intricacies of customs and etiquette in Singapore. I highly reccomend it.

Book Description

deAR gooSE,

Thank you for your letter. Too bad you won't be able to write. I guess you'll be too busy moving on. Me too. First of all, I'm quite busy socially. Very busy socially. Plus, my screenwriting is really taking off. I'm basically in discussions with some people. Producer-types. You know. They say moviemaking is the new novel writing. I'm pretty much on the vanguard of that whole thing. Thanks for the memories.

Alice

I'm not sure that quite captures my emotional state. A more accurate reflection of how I feel would have been:

Dear Goose,

AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Moose, Mom, and Moods.......2007-01-12

In the third Alice novel, the overdramatic Canadian teenager deals with a long-distance relationship, attempts to write a screenplay, works a series of odd jobs - oh, yes, and an incarcerated parent.

As with the previous Alice novels, this is a comedy, so the issue is still treated lightly and with love: Her peace-loving mother gets arrested for protesting, and her absence shakes up the already off-kilter MacLeod household, as Alice's long-time-slacker father has to get a job. Shock and horror. Meanwhile, Alice manages to both assume and avoid additional responsibilities at home and at work.

Alice's screenplay, Of Moose and Men, starts off the book. It is a work-in-progress which, more often than not, is an extension of Alice's daydreams and worries. Her overdramatic writing makes for a fun story-within-a-story, and the final scene of the script also serves as an ending to the book. This outing will amuse teen readers, especially those who enjoyed Alice, I Think and Miss Smithers.

Are you hooked yet?.......2006-03-22

Susan Juby lives up to all expectations with "Realist at Last". Though it's not quite as hilarious as her first two novels, it is still enjoyable. Alice (the mail character) has decided to be a screen writer now and so throughout the book you get to read her screenplay "Of Moose and Men". In which she overemphasizes the "hardships" she must go through, including the fact that her mother is currently in jail for a "good cause" as Alice's new therapist likes to make sure. Goose has also moved away, sadly for Alice, freeing her up to date other men, all of whom turn out to be older or younger or just not right. But, of course, if you've read "Alice, I think" and "Miss Smithers" you're already hooked and didn't need my review, so, happy reading...

Best of the 3 Alice Books.......2005-10-09

I related completely with Alice MacLeod in Susan Juby's first book "Alice, I think". Alice makes me laugh up a storm, something I miss in teen novels these days. The second novel "Miss Smithers" was also funny but the plot seemed a bit forced and not too interesting. Still, it went by fast and I enjoyed it.

The third "Alice MacLeod, Realist at Last" is more of a romance. I missed the fact that Alice's boyfriend Goose has left the picture, but he is replaced by an equally lovable boy named Vince. Except Vince isn't exactly a boy, and he questions whether he is too old to be dating Alice.

Alice's confusion over love and sex lead this novel with funny subplots about a prison-ridden mother, an unemployed father, and Alice's task to become a famous writer. Alice's writing is the best in this novel. In the second novel she wrote her own newspaper, but in "Alice MacLeod, Realist at Last" she heads out to write a script, which reads so utterly ridiculous, it's hilarious.

A great read for the romantic, the one who loves to laugh, and anyone and everyone that wants to find a great friend in Alice.

Funny and entertaining .......2005-08-29

"Alice Macleod, Realist at Last," Susan Juby's latest novel, continues
the adventures of Alice Macleod, a self-proclaimed outcast who was home
schooled for ten years before attending a public school. This is the third
installment in a highly successful series which also includes the
books "Alice, I Think" and "Miss Smithers."

The book begins during the summer before seventeen-year-old Alice's
senior year and her world seems to be falling apart. Her mother has been
jailed for protesting the building of a toxic plant. Her boyfriend has
recently moved to Scotland with his parents. Her empathetic counselor Bob
has been temporarily replaced by the detached Ms. Deitrich. To top it all
off the family's home-based candle making business has been snuffed out
leaving Alice and her father in need of some fast employment.

And that's just the start of Alice's troubles.

This engaging story is told in the first person through pieces of
Alice's diary and snippets of her tentatively titled screenplay "Of Moose
and Men" where she has cast herself in the lead. The narrative devices
skillfully convey Alice's unique outlook on life, but it might take several
pages for new readers to warm up to her voice. Her sense of humor is quirky
and often times quite dark. Alice's previous exploits are occasionally
alluded to during the course of this novel, but reading the first two books
ins't mandatory in order to thoroughly enjoy this one.

Alice is the kind of character that readers will find charming.
Potentially sensitive topics (such as Alice's mother's incarceration) are
dealt with in a non-offensive and light-hearted manner. However, the book
contains sexual content that may not be suitable for younger readers.

This is a funny and entertaining book for ages twelve and up.

Boy Trouble.......2005-08-25

The third, but I hope not the last, in a very funny series, Susan Juby's ALICE MACLEOD, REALIST AT LAST, concentrates on boys and men, as Alice in an endearingly oddball way juggles the hazards of dating. She's obsessed with two things, sex (having some) and screen-writing (she plans to be a younger, more attractive, and female Quentin Tarantino).

This set would be a terrific gift for an adolescent girl who worries about not fitting in.
